Drop down boxes in PDF files

Is there any possible way to open pdf forms and enter drop down boxes into pre existing forms? We fill out the same form constantly but some of the information varies only slightly and drop down boxes would make the process more efficient. Either that, or being able to load pdf files with a skeleton over them already would also work. If anybody knows how to do this, your help would be greatly appreciated.

Drop down boxes are called combo boxes in Acrobat. You can add them to PDFs if there are no security settings in place that restrict editing the document. Acrobat's help document has more information on adding form fields.

    Hello.
    I believe this is a Windows related issue, since it's the windows Save File manager we're talking about here (right?). You should contact Microsoft for help on that one, I believe. You'd expect to be able to delete the entries by simply tapping ''Delete'' on your keyboard when they are focused (that's how it goes for deleting specific form autocomplete entries in Firefox), but I haven't tried that.
    I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

    Windows will scale applications display or windows will not scale application display depending on how the application is coded.  Photoshop is coded in a way that its display is not scaled by windows.  Photoshop knows about your displays high pixel count not its resolution  so it uses its pixels  however it does not scale its UI to make it usable on your display.  Other application let Windows  scale their display output.   For example Microsoft default for is Surface Pro 3, 216 ppi display is to scale applications display up 150% so the surface pro 3 display which has 2160x1440 pixels a 216 ppi resolution look like at display with the user is using with 1440x960 pixels.  The Application works like the display is 1440x960 and Windows scale those pixels to the displays using the displays  2160x1440 pixels the effectively changing it resolution to 144ppi rather than the actual 216ppi.
    The reg update  and external manifest file  effectively tells photoshop its working on such a size display display some number of pixel wide and some number photoshop uses that as the display size  in turn Windows scale those pixels to use the displays 2160x1440 pixels efector lowing its 216ppi resolution.  Photoshop CC 2014 2X UI would be like using windows 200% option applications would be shown the are working on a display 1080x720 instead of the Surface Pro 3 2160x1440. Note that 1080x720 does not meet PS requirement of 1024x768.  Photoshop UI would not fit on the Surface Pro 3 display..
    Since you have a 4k display if you have CC 2014 you can use its 2x UI effectively Photoshop will be running on a 1920x1080 display and have half the resolution of you 4K display  3840x2160 pixels four native pixels are use as a single pixel.   1920x1080 pixels exceed PS requirement.

  • Why form is creating a "memory" drop-down box in the PDF Form

    I have created a form for someone using Adobe Acrobat CS4. While this doesn't happen when I use it on my computer, or even my work computer, apparently one of the end users, as they enter data into the form, it remembers previous information she had entered and gives her like a "memory" drop down box. She doesn't want that. How can I format it so it doesn't do that? Thank you.

  • How do I create hyperlinks in drop-down box....  (see details)

    I'm creating a form that will be used as an employee performance review.  On page one of the form, I'd like to insert a drop-down box titled "JOB TITLE" and there will be approx 10 different job titles in the list that the VP can select from.  Depending on the job title that the VP selects, I'd like a hyperlink that takes him to a new page within the pdf document.
    For example, the VP is going to complete a performance review for a "General Mgr" on his/her team.  He selects "General Mgr" from the drop down list in the "Job Title" box, and when he does, a new page opens that has questions related to the job responsibilities of a "General Mgr".  If the VP had selected a different Job Title, such as "Area Mgr", then a different page would have opened up with questions related to the job of an Area Mgr, which would be different than a Gen Mgr.
    Can anyone assist me with this?

    Hi,
    Here are some resources that you might find helpful:

    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/lc_migrating_acrobat_xmlform. pdf
    And a very handy resource (and while it is for version 6 it is still very good because of the way it is laid out):http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/tips/CalcScripts.pdf
    The help file also helps with syntax and LC Designer comes with templates/examples.
    Lastly, check out the Developer's Network on http://www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle/
    In the sample the script is in the exit event of the dropdown. You can view the script by selecting the dropdown, which is on the Master Page and viewing the script editor at the top of the workspace. If the script editor is not open, you can open it from the Windows menu. By default it is only one line high, so I would recommend dragging the bottom bar so that you see a good few lines. You can view different events in the script editor and set the language.
    Also if you look at the dropdown you can see in the Object > Field tab that I have set the values that are displayed in the dropdown and in the Object > Bindings I have not specified bound values, so I can use the display values in the script.
    In the hierarchy I have named each of the pages with a unique name (eg appendixAdmin), that is also used in the script.
    I hope that helps,

  • Export to MS-Word 07 - Addins tab does not show drop down boxes.

    Accordning to the following article -> How to Edit Microsoft Word Templates for Export from SAP Business One
    https://websmp201.sap-ag.de/~sapdownload/011000358700004566072005E/How_To_Edit_Word_template.pdf
    There are supposed to be four drop down boxes on the Add-ins tab of MS-Word.
    I do not have these tabs.
    Also, when I am in a sales order within Busines One, and I click on the Word icon on the toolbar, it opens the Word template I setup by editing Docmnhl1.doc file.
    But it only shows the template, it never pulls info from B1. I expect it to display the sales order info and it only shows the fields that are supposed to be available from the drop down box.
    Help!

    John,
    When you are using remote desktop, you are still using the client on the remote desktop.  Are you remoting into the Server itself, then it could be an issue with the path.
    If you are using mapped drives in the path (Microsoft Word Templates Folder), then you want to make sure that the doc template are able to access the path

  • Email Submit button linked to drop down box.

    Hello.
    I have a form that needs to go to multiple people depending on what ministry they work for. I have created a drop down box that has the ministry list. Is there a way, to either create a button on the fly, or to create an if/else statement to format the submit button or any other type of button, check box, etc. So that when the user selects the ministry that button is formatted with the correct email address???
    The other part of my question is can you change the name of the PDF file that is being submitted, right now mine just submits as a randomly generated file name? Can I have all the PDF's be emailed as PDF123.PDF, or something??
    HELP...
    Thanks.
    Mike

    It might be possible.
    1. Set your drop down list Ministry names to the email values that you need in the Binding tab.
    2. In the button that you create as the submit create a JavaScript that executes something like the following:
    //BEGIN CODE
    //Note the path of the field will be different.
    var oMinistry = (F.P1.Ministry.rawValue);
    var oBody = "The email body"
    event.target.submitForm({cURL:"mailto: "+oMinistry+"?subject=Case Submission"+"&body="+oBody, cSubmitAs:"PDF", cCharset:"utf-8" });
    //END CODE

  • How do I use Javascript to populate a text field based on a selection from a drop down box?

    Greetings,
    I have virtually no experience with JavaScript and I am trying to figure out how to add some basic automation features to an Adobe form.  I have a drop down box called "Hospital_Name" that will contain approximately 7 possible selections.  When the user makes a selection, I would like to have the text field (called "Hospital_Address") below the drop down box populate with the corresponding address for the selection.  I have the "Hospital_Address" text field configured for multiple lines and would like the address to have a line break between the street address and the city/state/zip.
    For example, if the user selected "Hospital 1", the text field would display:
    123 Main St
    Anytown, CA 12345
    Any help or examples you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

    You have the element names within the object within brackets.
    Make sure your brackets are properly placed and matched.
    // Place all pre-population data into a single data structure
    var Location = {
    "--Hospital--":{ line1: " ", line2: " " },
    "Bellevue Medical Center":{ line1: "2500 BMC Drive", line2: "Bellevue, NE 68123" },
    "CHI Bergan Mercy":{ line1: "7500 Mercy Road", line2: "Omaha, NE 68124" }, 
    "CHI Immanuel":{ line1: "6901 N. 72nd Street", line2: "Omaha, NE 68122" }, 
    "CHI Lakeside":{ line1: "16901 Lakeside Hills Court", line2: "Omaha, NE 68130" }, 
    "CHI Midlands":{ line1: "11111 S. 84th Street", line2: "Papillion, NE 68046" },
    "Creighton University Medical Center":{ line1: "601 N. 30th Street", line2: "Omaha, NE 68131" },
    "Nebraska Medical Center":{ line1: "4400 Emile Drive", line2: "Omaha, NE 68105" }
    // some debugging code to see location names;
    console.show();console.clear():
    for(I in Location) {
    console.println(I);
    // end debugging code;
    function SetFieldValues(Hospital_Name) {
        this.getField("AddLine1").value = Location[Hospital_Name].line1;
        this.getField("AddLine2").value = Location[Hospital_Name].line2;
    This is not a beginners task but requires a fair amount of knowledge about the structure of objects, defining strings, and structure of arrays.
    Are you sure you have all the field names correctly spelled and capitalized?
    Do you get any error in the JavaScript console?
    Just trying the line that defines the "Location", I get the following error:
    SyntaxError: invalid property id
    1:Console:Exec
    undefined
    All the form field in a PDF are processed by using JavaScript and any error in any script will stop JavaScript processing.
    It might help to have a link to the problem form.
    Make sure your brackets are properly placed and matched.
    // Place all pre-population data into a single data structure
    var Location = {
    "--Hospital--":{ line1: " ", line2: " " },

  • My drop-down list won't appear anymore so every time I want to go to a new site I have to type it in where before my drop-down box would appear and I could just click it and hit search and go there how do I make my drop-down box come back

    somehow I must've clicked a button that took away my drop down box when I go to use my Google search so different sites that I go to a lot I would always just click it when the drop-down box came up I would click again and hit search and you would bring that page up but even if I go to a site once I leave that I try to click and make the drop-down box come up again with the new search and it nothing happens so the problem is I need my drop down box to come back up to all the places that I visit kind of like a history of like I said I would just click and it would come up by itself now the drop-down box won't come up anymore so I need somebody to tell me what to do to bring my drop-down box back also I am new to computers so I don't know a lot so don't be real technical thanks for the help merry Christmas from Joe

    It's not a matter of me assuming to restore it, once the error comes up, the only next step I can do is to restore it. I can't access any of the iphones settings in itunes or anything, it's a mandatory restore. If I just cancel the sync (before restoring) and disconnect the phone, all my apps crash on opening: aka unusable phone. So I have literally no choice but to restore every time the error shows up if I want my phone to work.
    I have no idea where I may have duplicate files as it doesn't tell me, so if that is the problem (which I don't think it is) then I don't know where I have to go to delete the duplicates.
    And the duplicate file error still doesn't explain why leaving iTunes to restore the phone doesn't work and me having to drag the window around. I know it sounds utterly ridiculous, my friend didn't believe me when I told him either but then I showed him and he was as confused as I am. If I just leave the restore to do its own thing at it's own pace, it will loa maybe 20% then fail for whatever reason.

  • How do I enable multiple dynamic drop down boxes?

    I'm using Windows 2000, Java SDK 2 Standard, Tomcat, Apache, Microsoft Access and Macromedia Dreamweaver Ultradev 4.
    With UltraDev I'm trying to create a jsp page that has more than one dynamic drop down box or more than one dynamic select list box. I can show one dynamic object and as many static objects as I need.

  • My Firefox drop down box located in the upper left hand corner is no longer there. How do I get it back

    The only thing that appears above is the URL and the tabs that have been open. I have no other bars across the top of the screen. I especially need the Firefox Box in the left hand corner which includes commands to print, commands to bookmark a page, commands to clear History.

    Hi,
    Enabling / disabling the '''Menu Bar''' via '''View''' ('''Alt '''+ '''V''') > '''Toolbars''' alternates between the Firefox drop down box and the menu bar. To temporarily view the menu bar after the Firefox drop down box is activated, press '''Alt''' or '''F10'''.

  • Drop-down box population

    I have tried to research this situation through the forums, but all the answers I've found are ... not quite 'it'.
    I'm working in a relatively small company, producing forms to automate a good deal of the workflow. ( I used to be a Notes Dev and Admin, back in the day, so I'm very familiar with workflow and automating forms but this company is small enough that a lot of the backend processing is ... missing or in 'long term development'.) I have an expense report type form where I need to be able to have the users select the type of expense from a drop down box to start their line items, and then use the other kinds of fields to fill in the other data. However, the drop-down needs to be at least vaguely dynamic as specific projects/work details come on and get removed. Managing more than a dozen lines by hand is tedious and annoying.
    Is there any way to popluate a drop down box's list with a hidden field on the form? It would save me a LOT of trouble if I could enter the data into a multi-line field and have the form auto-populate with that data instead. Barring that, is there a 'fast' way to clear out a list for a drop-down field without using the little minus sign to remove each item individually?
    Many, many thanks in advance.

    I know this is a over a year old, but I needed to populate a drop down list with over 400 entries, so I downloaded the above form and it would not hold enough entries. So I edited it and made the file 100 inches long and it had more than enough room for my entries I needed. It may well hold almost 1000 entries, I did not check. but here is a link to the longer form for those of you who need to enter many more entries.
    https://workspaces.acrobat.com/?d=eeZA7ZCGHSy9VJuQ1ZQqVQ
    Thanks to George Johnson for the wonderful first edition that has work well for many I am sure. This is his form only much longer to allow more entries.

  • Drop Down Box Choose A Name and Have only the first name show up

    I am creating a form for health care.
    I have a drop down box with names of Physicians... their full names so they can be easily identified. And then subsequent fields that will be populated based off of the choice. However What I need is that after the full name from the drop down list is selected than only the Dr's First name shows up in the box to be distributed through out the file. All the rest of the information is already in using this Java:
    switch(this.rawValue){
        case "MD":
            form1.Page1.Physician1LastName.rawValue = " Acccc";
            form1.Page1.Physician1Number.rawValue = "1111111111";
            form1.Page1.Physician1Fax.rawValue = "2222222222";
            form1.Page1.ClientEmail.rawValue = "[email protected]";
            form1.Page1.Physician1Address.rawValue = "xyz suite ";
            form1.Page1.Physician1City.rawValue = "XYY CIth";
            form1.Page1.Physician1State.rawValue = "XZ";
            form1.Page1.Physician1Zip.rawValue = "11111";
            form1.Page1.Physician1NPI.rawValue = "111111111";
            form1.Page1.Physician1License.rawValue = "ABBB111111";
            form1.Page1.Physician1UPIN.rawValue = "A11111";
            form1.Page1.Physician1Specialization.rawValue = "Internist";
            break;
    And is working beautifully thanks for previous help everyone.
    Here is the example from the Drop Down list choices:
         Dr. Aaaaa Abb Accccc
         Dr. Baaaa Bbb Bccccc
    I would like to choose :
         Dr. Aaaaa A Aaaaa
    and upon chosing it have it show only the first name in that field so it can be processed correctly through out the rest of the fields.
    ie:    Aaaaa   (Only nothing else)
    I am a horrible at this stuff I just surf around until I find something that works and copy and paste and play until it works
    So Please be specific:
    Java vs FOrm: Client: Choice   and code ....
    Thanks SO much ....

    Take a look at the attached. The script assumes the name is a three-part string such as Dr. Frank Burns. You can modify it according to your needs.
    // form1.page1.dd::exit - (JavaScript, client)
    if (this.rawValue != null) {
      var doc = this.rawValue;
      var i = doc.indexOf(" ");
      doc = doc.substring(i+1,doc.length);
      this.rawValue = doc.substring(0,doc.indexOf(" "));

  • Cannot change Email Preference in Drop Down Box

    All my software is up to date on Snow Leapord. I use AOL Desktop for accessing my email and it is the most current AOL Desktop for Mac 1.7.722 (722). I just did the desktop upgrade 2 weeks ago.
    I can no longer send pictures through AOL.
    When I go to iPhoto preferences > General > the drop down box next to "Email photos using: has "Mail" highlighted. I cannot choose anything else. They are all greyed out (AOL, Eudora and Microsoft Entourage). I don't use Eudora or Entourage so they don't matter to me, but all 3 cannot be used. I have tried everything to get it to recognize AOL but it does not.
    I called AOL and they had me unistall every AOL application and file on the computer and reinstall the new AOL desktop again but this did not work either. They said it was not their problem and must be with Apple and iPhoto.
    When I called Apple (I have Apple care), they gave me a work around to send photos to the desktop and then attach to an AOL email, They could not help me otherwise, but I would rather use it the way I used to. Why won't it allow me to pick AOL (Which is shown in the drop down)
    Can anyone give me help.

    A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
    This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.
    also note that you probably can select the photo(s) and drag them to the AOL Desktop icon in the Dock to create your e-mail
    I just did the desktop upgrade 2 weeks ago.
    I can no longer send pictures through AOL.
    To me this clearly says that the issue is AOL desktop since it worked until you upgraded and after upgrading does not

  • Has Photoshop CS5 Extended added a "Behind" and "Clear" in MODE drop down box?

    Hi Guys,
    I am not sure what just happened with my PS. Was downloading and installing some custom patterns and brushes from the net last night. And when I went to try them out I noticed the drop down box had 2 new added effects ( Behind and Clear ) which I was not able to even access because they were not live. It is the drop down box which has the normal, dissolve, darken, multiply etc. etc. up on the top left hand bar. I was going to upload a picture but I keep getting a message saying this file is forbidden, even after I scaled the image down to the required fields. I was wondering if some one can help. I hope it wasn't a virus from the internet files I downloaded.
    Many thanks, Grace.

    They are brush blend modes.  To use you need to have the brush tool selected.  Open a new layer and paint with any colour.  Chose another colour and make the blend mode Behind.  I bet you know what will happen now? ;-)
    Clear works pretty much the same as the Eraser tool as far as I can tell.  Might need to actually read the manual to get more info on that.
